Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso will take to the pitch without the services of Lorient youngster Ouattara, who scored the winner against Tunisia last time out before picking up a straight red eight minutes away from time.

On the injury front, Djibril Ouattara made his first appearance at the tournament in the aforementioned game, but after coming off with a 72nd-minute injury, the 22-year-old forward's participation is in doubt.

Following his side's solid defensive display against the Eagles of Carthage, Malo could name a backline, meaning we could see Steeve Yago, Edmond Tapsoba, Soumaila Ouattara and Issa Kabore shielding Herve Koffi between the sticks for the third game running.
Burkina Faso possible starting lineup:
Koffi; Kabore, Tapsoba, Ouattara, Yago; Nikiema, Guira, Sangare; Bande, Ouattara, Traore

Senegal
Meanwhile, after scoring just once in the group stages, Senegal have found their touch in the knockout stages, netting five times in two games, and we expect Cisse to name an unchanged attacking unit of Boulaye Dia, Diedhiou and Mane.

The Liverpool man, who has netted eight times in the Premier League this season, has two goals and one assist under his belt at the tournament and will certainly play a big role for the Lions of Teranga.

In defence, Senegal have been imperious so far, conceding just once in five games and we expect to see an unchanged back four of Bouna Sarr, Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo and Saliou Ciss shielding Chelsea man Edouard Mendy in goals.

Kayoute and Sarr both came off the bench to find the target and send Equatorial Guinea packing and we should see the duo come into the starting lineup on Wednesday.
Senegal possible starting lineup:
E Mendy; Sarr, Koulibaly, A Diallo, Ciss; Kayoute, N Mendy, I Gueye; Diedhiou, Dia, Mane
Prediction: Burkina Faso 0-2 Senegal
